I would try the wilson for some steelhead. They are all over just need to get them to bite. I would try to hit water that no one else has fished that day. Good luck.

Jeremy,

Jones beach must be producing. I'm assuming that's where your at. The bank has been the place to be this year. We are getting fish almost everytime out. I have put up about 150 lbs of springer and about 75 pounds of steelhead between me and my two boys off the bank. Were hitting it about a day every week and have only had a few fishless days. I spent a few hours fishing the last three days. I hit two clipped springers and one clipped steelhead. Took my boys out to sand island today and we had 5 takedowns and two on the bank. Had one come off right at the shoreline as I was getting ready to net.

I have three packs of green label sitting in my freezer but the action has been so good off the bank that I can't bring myself to try anything else this year.

I only seen one fish caught out of the boats today. There wasn't that many boats out but the few that were weren't hitting fish.

Hey, Trick, where is Jones beach and the sand island??? I am mostly a boat fisherman, but the boat is out of comission for a while...having some work done on it. Would be great to know where the banking has been good.

Jones beach is a couple miles outside of Clatskanie. When you leave that town you will come to an intersection heading west with a blinking yellow light. Turn right and head north towards the big river. You will come to the dike and will take a right. Keep following that road until you see the pullouts. You used to need a 4x4 to drive all the way across the sand to the rivers edge, I don't know if that's still the case? I heard the've made improvements to the area tha last few years.

Sand island is across from St Helens, you will need a boat to cross the water. They have docks on the island that you can tie upto. You then foot it a hundred yards or so to the opposite shore and fish. You can run small craft around the island and beach them if you don't like packing gear. Big ships, big waves, be prepared to bail. I've had too almost every time I've beached on that side.

Good luck.
